Daihatsu Applause

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Daihatsu Applause uses manual transmission fluid with a capacity of 2,2 liters. Service intervals include checks at 10000 km/12 months and 15000 km/12 months, and changes at 40000 km/48 months, 80000 km/48 months, and 90000 km/72 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Daihatsu Applause manual transaxle fluid capacity holds at 2.2 liters across all four configurations spanning 1989-2001, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity, which would typically account for residual fluid left in the unit.
  • The 1.6 Zi 4WD and 1.6i variants from 1989-1997 share an identical change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, with no fluid check interval listed separately from the drain-and-fill service.
  • The 1.6i 16V from 1997-1999 introduced a dedicated fluid check interval of 10,000 km or 12 months alongside a change interval of 80,000 km or 48 months, doubling the drain interval compared to the earlier 1989-1997 configurations.
  • The 1.6i 16V from 1999-2001 extended the check interval further to 15,000 km or 12 months, while the change interval reached 90,000 km or 72 months, the longest drain cycle across all Applause manual transaxle specifications.
  • The shift from a 48-month to a 72-month time-based change interval between the 1997-1999 and 1999-2001 generations of the 1.6i 16V represents a 50 percent increase in the calendar-based service period, even as the transaxle fluid capacity remained unchanged at 2.2 liters.
  • All four configurations are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the stated intervals apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing or extreme temperature exposure.
